Menial Labour

Menial labour
These are activities you can do to earn money regardless of whether or not you have skills. Great for Getting Started.

There is Logging, stone mining and fishing.

Logging
Logging is an activity you can do without any prerequisites other than not having exhausted the logging site. You can sell the logs at the central lumber yard for 3 denari for 3 logs.

Stone Mining
Stone mining is similar to logging with the exception you need a pickaxe. Relevant buildings are Central Stone Merchants and Rock Outcrop.

Fishing
For fishing you need a Fishing Tackle. You can buy one at the Fish Market.

When you find a place to fish select the Fishing Tackle in the inventory and press Use Item. If done correctly you will get comfy under a parasol and the view switches to first person.

From there, it's a matter of paying attention to your bobber. If you catch something there's a 10% chance of it being a big fish, if not it's a small fish. A big fish sells for 70 denari and a small fish for 5 denari at the fish market.

Protip: If you have trouble seeing your bobber, try turning on your lights with F7. There is also a night brightness setting that allows for better sight at night.

Transporting
Secondary to this is transporting. For some easy denari there is often a profit margin to be had when transporting goods.
